If your hotel is already paid for, I presume you know where it is. If you would tell us, it would help for determining food costs. I would expect, for example, San Francisco to be more expensive than Mobile.

>visa waiver programme (VWP), is that what I'm supposed to be doing?
Very much yes. Otherwise you won't even be allowed on the plane. Good thing you asked now, it usually takes up to 72 hours (usually less) to process.

As for food: will you cook yourself, eat out, eat out big-time? Where are you going? Will you be travelling around? This is too vague for the Puerto Rican conga board to answer. Figure it out yourself.

St. Louis, MO.

>>1287195
Eat out everyday, nothing big. I don't think I'll have cooking facilities in my room.

D-don't mind me.

LACMA sometimes has some good exhibitions.

There are a lot of mixed opinions about Singapore.

It would be better to just go there and see stuff. It's such a small country that you can easily explore most of it and have almost nothing to lose.

shameful self bump

I'm going there in mid october this year, looking forward to visit the Gardens by the bay

Why aren't you at Sziget?

>>1287027
I could meet later today If you want

Ashton?

Your old thread is still up, fucktard.

>>1286971
sorry...

I usually don't come to this board, so I didn't think the thread which I made a few days ago is still up
in a board I usually use, threads disappear much sooner
my bad

There's nothing worse than meeting potential wife material at a hostel or other temporary setting and knowing you will never see her again especially if you got along with her real well. I will never forget you Veronique.

It's part of hostel life my dude, nothing is forever. I've gone on several trips over the past 5 years. After deleting facebook I can count on 1 hand the number of people I've kept in contact with. You'll make great friends, fall in love, and do amazing things with hostel folks. Then you'll leave the next day and never talk to them again, you'll spend lots of time thinking of what could've been, but try not to. It's generic as fuck be better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all.

Panta rhei, anons. It sounds cool, but it has fangs too.

Alessia, mi sei mancata da subito.

I say this to everyone who asks about budgets. Travel is as cheap as you're willing to make it. But yeah, SEA, or South/Central America would be your best bet.

Speaking as a certified hobo, in my view travel is inherently free. Hitchhiking and wild camping are possible in every country. Paying for hostels and public transport is a choice.
Another good option is to go to a country where gas is cheap, rent a car, and live out of the vehicle for a few weeks.

SEA is generally cheap, but like you say, on the tourist route you'll have a hard time spending less than $40/day. Renting a motorbike will save you a lot on transport, and give you the freedom to be creative with your itinerary.
Africa is generally very expensive, unless you're really dedicated to hitchhiking and good at haggling. Morocco is an exception; you can live comfortably there for $20-$30/day.

Throw a tent on the back of your bike and you could spend 2 years travelling with £10000

Western Russia, near the Finnish border is best.

Avoid everything east of Novosibirsk.

If you were rich, you wouldn't be asking here.

Bad idea, chief. Never marry a gold digger from any country. Unless you're Trump.

>Middle-town Belgium
>Centre is very much alright
>Only two high-rise towers just outside the centre, two more about 1km away
>The two in town are almost exclusively white trash
>The two just out of town are mostly Moroccans/Turks
>The latter have started to be demolished, no-one really cares where the inhabitants will go
>Not in town though, rent is too high
>There's now plans to demolish the white-trash towers, replace them with condos for rich people
I'm sure there's "worse" neighbourhoods, but nothing near as bad as America, OP.

OP here. I would also love to open the floor up to what people consider "bad".
The neighborhoods around me are dirt poor, but they're inhabited by people who care about the neighborhood and want a good life for their kids. It's not Nice, but it's not Dangerous. Just kinda shitty.

You could literally spend the full week in Tehran, but if you show some discipline with what you're seeing/not seeing then those three cities are doable.

>>1286846
I've read that Tehran is fairly boring and not worth staying for long. If you had to pick 2 cities out of the three I mentioned, which would you leave out and why?

>>1286910
Are you a muslim? The charms of Shiraz might be a bit lost on you if you aren't, but the architecture's worth seeing regardless.
I'd probably be inclined to give Yazd a miss, I've only been there the once.

My Tehran experience was made by having Iranian friends, I'm not sure what it'd be like solo travelling, I guess it could be dull.

It's expensive everywhere here. Chinese are buying out Vancouver and old white folks are moving into the smaller towns all over the region and with that dragging the property prices up everywhere.

How are you going to fund yourself? There's a lot of places in the region that are great but don't have much going on. If you have some passive income I can recommend a few spots.

If you need a job then I suggest the suburbs of Victoria. They're often ranked among the best places to live in the entire country.

>>1286753
kootenays..

except work might be a challenge I guess.. unless you have good work ethic and like being outside.

Out of interest, what made you choose Sofia?

I've been there before and it's hardly the most inspiring place in Europe... I mean, it's got enough to occupy you for a few days and it's pretty central for the Balkan Peninsula, but for a first trip outside of the USA?

>>1286737
Fair question.

A) It's cheaper than most large cities in Europe
B) It's not really a major tourist destination
C) As you mentioned, it's in the Balkans. I am passionate about Roman and Thracian history, and it seems like a good "home base," because I also want to travel up through Romania.

Also I fucking love slavs

You should be able to travel dirt cheap to those destinations.

Consider buses. There's gonna be a shitload of them to choose from.

>Has anyone here been to Moscow?
Yeah I lived there

>>1286732
People slag it for some reason. I've been there, interesting place, lots to see and do, it's a major world city and they're all interesting in one way or another.

There's a museum of the history of vodka that's worth checking out.

>>1286732
Fucking love Moscow desu
Better than NYC in my opinion. Theres a ton of stuff to see.

>>1286717
Where are you ?

I've been very careless at times with my belongings.. leave stuff all over my bed... in dorms. Only once had things stolen, sunglasses and my belt. I think it was the British fucker in the next bunk over.

This is why I always stay in hotels.

>i don't have a passport
How?

>>1286709
Dude.... your friggin post office has the passport application forms. Virtually any photographer worth their salt will do a good photo for the passport. That's it.
